Taskforces Meetings are senior-level coordination platforms established under the Government–Business Consultative Forum (G2B CF) to provide strategic oversight and guidance on priority national and economic reform areas.

The G2BCF operates through three (3) core Taskforces:

The Economic Taskforce focuses on cross-cutting economic and policy issues affecting growth, investment, and the overall business environment. It provides strategic direction on economic reform priorities and supports alignment between Government and the private sector.

The MTDP IV Taskforce supports coordination and monitoring of initiatives aligned with the Medium Term Development Plan IV. It provides a platform for Government and business leaders to track progress, address implementation challenges, and align private sector engagement with national development priorities.

The Business Protection Taskforce focuses on issues related to safeguarding legitimate business activity, improving compliance, and addressing practices that undermine fair competition. It supports dialogue on regulatory effectiveness, enforcement, and protection of lawful business operations.
